Am I more important?

Louis's POV

—-

Harry is working out late again. He should be home any minute, I rubbed my eyes as I fought to keep my eyes open. Harry hasn't been home much lately, he's always at work. He leaves early in the morning before I've woken up, and comes back late at night saying he is too tired to spend time with me. We haven't eaten a single meal together in weeks. Harry is usually in a grumpy mood after work, I pray that he isn't today. Few moments later, I hear the sound of keys dangling and a door opening.

"Hey Haz, uh- how was work?." I asked as i slowly walked over to him

"Terrible, nobody knows how to do their jobs. Useless. I'm exhausted, I'm heading to bed." Harry says and he hangs his coat on the hanger.

"Can we cuddle?" I asked in a small voice. I missed cuddling with him, but he never seems to spend time with me.

"No Lou, I'm tired. I'm going to bed." Harry said as he pushed past me to get to the bedroom.

"But Haz, we haven't spent time with each other for so long, you're always too tired after work. You have spent so much time in the office ever since you have been promoted." All the things I have been holding back saying spilled out of my mouth.

"Well, unlike you, I have an actual job. Where else do you think I get money to pay our rent from?! Unlike you, my job can actually earn money, maybe you can earn an actual living instead of lounging around doing nothing all day!" Harry retorted back with such a tone that caused tears to well up in my eyes

What Harry said stung, because it was true. I'm part of a band that does part time gigs, we don't earn much money, but Harry told me that I should continue doing what I love. Music, performing. Most days I don't have gigs so I just wait around till Harry comes home. I can't even cook, my diet consists of microwaveable food.

"I'm- I'm sorry, I just want to spend some time with you" I said with a broken voice as my heart began crumbling.

"Work is important, Louis. Hate to burst your bubble, but the world does not revolve around you." Harry shouted with a venomous tone.

"W-work is more important than me?" I choked back a sob. He used my name, we never use our names, we always use pet names even when we are mad.

"Well maybe it is!"

I feel my heart shattering, does Harry really feel this low of me? Tears streamed down my face, unable to stop.

"O-okay"

I ran into our bedroom and immediately started sobbing, using my pillow to muffle the sounds of my sobs. I remember when Harry had told me that I was his number one priority - tied with his family. But now? It was all lies. All lies. How could my own boyfriend choose work over me? I kept sobbing and sobbing until no more tears came out.

Harry's POV

—

Seeing Louis run toward our bedroom, I snapped back from my rage. Oh shit, what have I done? How could I have said that to Louis? I could hear Louis sobbing and muffling his sobs, the sound of his sobs just breaks my heart.

"Lou? Lou? Can I come in?" I knocked quietly but no response came back. I decided to give him some time to calm down first. I headed to the sofa and tried to make myself comfortable.

An hour has gone by, I couldn't bear it any longer, I had to check on louis. What I found broke shattered my heart into little pieces, louis was bundled up under the sheets. His face was swollen and puffy from crying. He must have cried himself to sleep. How could I have done this to him? I got under the blankets and wrapped my hands around his torso and began to drift asleep.

Louis's POV

—

I woke feeling a warm body pressed behind me, I must be still dreaming. There's no way that Harry would be there cuddling me.

"Lou?" Harry's tried voice from behind called out to me,

"What are you doing here?" I asked with a hint of anger in my voice as I turned to face him.

"Lou, I'm sorry, I admit that ever since I was promoted all I've done is work. I never spent time with you. What I said yesterday, I don't mean a single word of it. I was just frustrated at work and took it out on you. It's unfair to you,you have an amazing voice and amazing work. Your income doesn't matter to me, all I care about is your happiness." Harry apologized

"Sorry doesn't cut it Haz."

"I know it doesn't, I know what I said is unforgivable. I don't know if I can ever make it up to you, but let me try." Harry pleaded with sincerity in his eyes.

"Will you stop spending all your time at the office?"

"Yes Lou, of course. I'll do anything you ask me to do" Harry answered eagerly.

"Fine then start of by cuddling me" I smiled as I snuggled towards Harry

"Gladly."
